Oh Robin. I'm glad she's there safely, but I know how horrid it must be to wait now. Strength to you and yours.
Faith: A kid. Angel's got a kid. Wesley: Connor. Faith: A teenage kid born last year. Wesley: I told you, he grew up in a hell dimension. Faith: Right. And what, Cordelia spent her last summer as… Wesley: A divine being. Faith: Uh-huh. Can I just ask--What the hell are you people doing?

The status is NOT quo.

All best to Robin's fam. Yay! For AmyParker...I love to hear about people's dreams, maybe, coming true. And I feel like the weird lurker who somehow knows y'all,(I bet that is how visiting Baltimore will feel, too, once I finally go) but the muses are kind of at a dull roar today so I can pop in and out, I think.

If someone were hypothetically putting together a box of tiny baby clothes to loan to a hypothetical friend whose baby will be almost exactly a year younger, is a Sharpie on the tags a good way of marking them, or will that run in the wash and create black, inky mess?

As far as I can tell, once Sharpie ink dries, it's there until the molecules break down.

Thanks, Ginger!
(Good lord, these newborn-6 month sizes are tiny!)

What is even happening?
I don't know, Susan. I do know there is laundry ink--and I seem to remember pens (markers, really) with laundry ink, for that purpose.
But...I did not loan clothes. I gave them away, or kept them. If I thought I could use something for a future child, since I planned on having future children, I kept them. Things I didn't care about (or had in abundance) I gave for keepsies. Sometimes, I happened to get them back.
Babies spit up, and poop, and spill stuff, and mothers don't always get the stains out. Certain items just wear out, lose their shape, get pilly, or otherwise not so great, with more wear and tear.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
I'm giving blood today.
I hope I don't throw up.

I know, Cindy. I'm not loaning out anything that has sentimental value. I'm assuming some of it will fall apart or get lost or otherwise not be returnable.

Okay, Susan. I just figured if you were bothering to mark them, you planned on getting them back.
There were a few items friends and family offered to lend us, that they wanted back, afterwards. I just politely refused. I think I am probably an oddball about this, both ways (as a giver and a recipient). Take-backs stress me out.

If I only had a brain...
Sharpies on the tags always worked well for me. Sharpie sells a laundry marker, but I couldn't see any way it was different from a regular marker.
Amoxicillin stains, however? No way to remove.
